Setting Bake
Use the bake feature whenever the recipe calls for baking using
normal temperatures. A reminder tone will sound indicating
when the set bake temperature is reached and to place the food
in the oven. The bake element will cycle on and off to maintain
the set bake temperature for precise baking.
During preheat, the convection fan will run to help heat the oven
to the set temperature. The fan will pulse on and off after the set
temperature is reached.
Bake may be set for any oven temperature between 200°F
(93°C) to 550°F (288°C).
To set Bake for oven temperature of 350°F (177°C):
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using
the oven. When cooking the oven interior, oven racks, and
cooktop will become very hot which can cause burns.
Do not bake foods directly on the oven bottom.
To avoid damaging the oven interior and surfaces, always bake
foods in the oven using bakeware positioned on an oven rack.
1. Be sure to arrange racks to the desired positions for the
item(s) to be baked.
2. Turn the oven mode selector to the Bake position.
3. Turn the oven temperature selector to 350°F.
4. PREHEAT will begin and the oven temperature LED will turn
on and sound an acceptance tone. The oven will begin
heating. PREHEATING will appear in the display.
5. When the set temperature is reached, the PREHEAT light
will turn off and a reminder chime will sound alerting you to
place food in oven. Set either timer to keep track of actual
cooking time if necessary.
6. When finished baking, be sure to return both the tempera-
ture selector knob and the oven mode knob to the OFF posi-
tions.
Important note:
If Bake is active without a cook time setting, the oven will remain
on for 12 hours before turning off automatically unless it is
cancelled. To bake longer than 12 hours, see “Changing Between
Continuous Bake Setting or 12 Hour Energy Saving” on page 18
for instructions.
Baking Tips:
• Fully preheat the oven before baking items like cookies,
biscuits and breads.
• When using any single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• Dark or dull pans absorb more heat than shiny bakeware,
resulting in dark or over browning of foods. It may be
necessary to reduce the oven temperature or cook time to
prevent over browning of some foods. Dark pans are
recommended for pies. Shiny pans are recommended for
cakes, cookies, and muffins.
• For batter and dough-based baked goods such as cakes,
pastries, and breads, use the convection bake function for
best results.
• Convection baking is preferred for multiple rack cooking.
• For best results when baking cookies and cakes using two
oven racks, place racks in positions 2 and 5 (Figure 26) and
place pans as shown in Figure 27. Use flat rack in position 5
and glide rack in position 2.
• When baking using two oven racks, position bakeware as
shown in Figure 27. Allow at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space
between bakeware for proper air circulation.
• Do not open the oven door too often. Opening the door will
reduce the temperature in the oven.
• Glass bakeware is a slow heat conductor. May require
reducing oven temperature.
